THE ME­DUSA CHRON­I­CLES

Stephen Bax­ter & Alas­tair Reynolds

In a se­quel to Arthur C Clarke’s A Meet­ing With Me­dusa (1971), two of space opera’s big­gest stars team up to con­tinue the ad­ven­tures of Howard Fal­con, a cy­borg ex­plorer who en­coun­tered a vast, blimp-like crea­ture amidst the clouds of Jupiter. A project, Bax­ter told SFX re­cently, that “just took off in a con­ver­sa­tion” about Clarke’s clas­sic novella.
